‘Iron Chef’ Returns to Japan
Wall Street Journal –Scene Asia | Nov. 2, 2012
After 13 years off the air, “Iron Chef” in Japan…is back…[and] stays largely faithful to the original. The most obvious change is the adoption of the overseas title “Iron Chef” — a clear recognition of the strong brand the original show has built internationally…more…

   Oh, that’s Japan’s #1 mascot, “Kumamon,” a bear who represents Kumamoto prefecture. Kumamon was crowned at the National Yuru-chara (lit. ‘loose character’) Summit.

   I loaned a female friend my laptop since she had no power (DAE frankenstorm?) and came back to see that she had deleted all of my old Iron Chef and Banzai TV show videos. When was the last time you admitted to the world that you were in the friendzone?

   …This week, 141 “yuru-kyara” from 25 prefectures across the country gathered in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, to make their mark on history by becoming the largest group of mascots ever to do the same dance together…
